Anyone know of a use for CX12230 coax cable?

My most recent PU-751/M came with a 1/4 mile spool of CX12230 coax cable.

What the heck can I use it for? I don't have any radio hobbies, and as far as I can tell it's as useful to me as a 130 pound anchor.

I'm thinking of un-spooling the coax and re-spooling with some 6/3 AWG... that way I can use the unit for an upcoming building project.

I have used surplus co-ax for numerous jobs to use the stuff up. Anything requiring light to medium single wire connection is a very good way (and cost effective) to use it up. (If the outer is not too stiff and or thick to look out of place and the inner is decent single wire copper). Though I have used the outer copper brade as the earth (-) before now.
